Do you have any common recipes from other countries that sounded completely weird to you when you first heard of them? (sh.itjust.works)

Just found out about pickled hotdogs. Sounds disgusting.

the concept of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches disgusts me to this day.

That's insane (from my North American perspective).

Peanut butter and sweet is the thing peanut butter is used for.

I am actually struggling to find a second example of peanut butter use that I know about that isn't "take something sweet but slap some peanut butter in there too" (I've heard of peanut butter and celery and that just sounds like a desperate way to make raw celery palatable)

peanut butter is just way too smeet on its own. peanuts are insanely calorie-dense.
